Ansys Fluent and OpenFOAM using Intel Hybrid architecture processors

Description :

In this video, we explore a few of the issues you might face with OpenFOAM and Ansys Fluent when using an Intel Hybrid architecture processor. I bought a laptop with an Intel Core i9‑13980HX, and most of my critical tasks were running on efficiency cores instead of performance cores, which was frustrating. I found a solution that works most of the time, and I share it here.
